Re: Draft Measurements
Johnny Flynn needs a different pair of shoes, he puts them on and gets a foot shorter.

Re: Draft Measurements
BJ measuring out at 6'11.75 without shoes and 7'1.25 with shoes is quite impressive. I thought we would be a shade under 7ft in shoes. His standing reach is 9'3 vsThabeet at 9'5. Funny thing is Big Al's standing reach was 9'2.

Re: Draft Measurements
These came out alot faster then in past years. Things that stand out at first glance: Daye's going to go before 18 (maybe by alot), Mullens is a big boy and very welll also may go before 18, Flynn at almost 6'1" in shoes put to rest rumors he was only 5'9" or 5'10", Blair is shorter then I expected but damn he's got long arms, and Harden with that reach is not undersized at the 2.
I think for me the choices at number 6 go: 1. Harden 2. Holiday 3. Derozan
And at number 18: 1. Daye 2. Mullens 3. Maynor/Teague (can't decide)

Re: Draft Measurements
These measurements help Harden out. I was surprised that Evans is exactly the same size as Harden, I always thought he was taller like 6'6" or something. He's still got freak wingspan though at 6'11".

Re: Draft Measurements
Yeah Evans measures out bigger than Wade did.

Re: Draft Measurements
If you guys are interested, the draft board has about a 6 page thread on Evans. It's pretty interesting but they do slam him a lot.

Re: Draft Measurements
Well, that should put to rest a lot of doubts about Harden; he's definitely big enough and more than long enough.
Please let Hill and Jennings jump into the top 5 and drop Harden to us.

OJ Mayo is one of the best defenders in the league, hes a two way player and hes a great passer and playmaker.

Re: Draft Measurements
LOL@Flynn. Worm, I heart you.
Few things I notice...
Earl Clark's measurements are very nice. Actually they're amazing. He could be a Lamar Odom type, which isn't a knock.
Harden and Evans came back a bit shorter than expected, but they're wingspans are great. If Evans is a point guard, that's awesome. Otherwise it's a slight knock. But he's bigger than Wade, right?
Evans is ripped at 221.
Sam Young has long arms too.
Mullens came back with good size, legit numbers, but average arms. Not bad, though.
Teague's a bit shorter than billed, but really long arms.
Maynor just took another hit. Not only is he a slightly impressive older player from a crap school, he's got stubby arms and is scrawny. Lawson's winspan came up short as well.
Jrue Holiday's size is awesome.
Hill and Daye with nice numbers.
Blair shrunk.
This all actually changed my opinion a little on a few guys. I'd cooled on Maynor as of late, and this makes it even worse. I'll be disappointed if we take him at #18. If Clark can play SF, I definitely wouldn't mind him. #6 is probably too high, but if we can move up from 18, or even get him at 18, I could fall in love with him.

Re: Draft Measurements
Holiday is taller than I thought, otherwise it is as expected.
Clark is going to be a stud or bust, no middle ground with him.

Re: Draft Measurements
There's nothing wrong with Maynor's measurements for a PG. He's still way bigger (and probably more skilled) than our PGs. You're right though, he's wicked scrawny.
Evans' wingspan = Griffin's

I agree, I hope he falls to 18 like some mocks have him doing even though I highly doubt he will...or that we move up to around 10 and grab him if we can't work our way into multiple top 8 picks. Clark, if he does pan out, could be a great SF next to AL/Love, he is so athletic for his size

Re: Draft Measurements
Makes Daye that much more interesting as well. He had been in my sights around 18 (or 28 with some mocks) with Mullens and some of the PG's. This may elavate his stock as well and put him out of reach.
Thing is, for everyone that moves up the draft ladder, someone else has to move down...

Re: Draft Measurements
Maynor's arms are shorter than his height, that's not a good thing.
My draft board after this...
#6 - Evans/Harden/Holiday/DeRozan
#18 - Clark/Mullens/Teague/Daye
#28 - Casspi/Summers/Calathes/Young

Re: Draft Measurements
Maynor needs to put some weight on as well, im all around dissapointed in him as I was relatively high on that guy. Holiday is great, i was kinda surprised Harden is the same size as Evans
But holy giant PG Batman, Evans eats other PG's for breakfast! 6'5/221 with a pterodactyl like wing span? He remains my fav at #6.

Re: Draft Measurements
I would be ecstatic if Clark is available at 18 but I don't see ANY way that's going to happen.
DX: #14
nbadraft.net: #12
yahoo: #11
What would it take to get a pick in that range to nab Clark? 18+what?
It's on the last page and I can't remember who said it but I agree with the statement that Clark is gonna be a beast or a bust. No middle ground.

Re: Draft Measurements
A Lineup of:
Al
Love
Clark
Foye
Evans
is actually pretty sick. Maybe moving up from 18 to 10 via MIL would be our best bet.
